Asked whether murderers have escaped prosecution in Idaho’s coroner system, Ada County Coroner Rich Riffle said: “My humble opinion? Yes.” an absolute must-read by Audrey Dutton
The coroner had no staff, vehicle or office. His autopsy budget was tiny. "If you don't care enough about how death investigations are done in your jurisdiction to invest in the people doing it ... you're going to get what you get," said a national expert. propublica.org/article/idaho-…
In January, Brad Little said he'd support more state resources to help Idaho’s coroners do their jobs. But he never got the chance; the state legislature didn't send him any bills with funding for coroners or death investigations. propublica.org/article/idaho-…
